So
what is the correct action in which there is no will, no choice, no
desire - Now is it possible to see, to observe, to be aware of the
beautiful and the ugly things of life and not say "I must have"
or "I must not have"?. Have you ever just observed anything?
Is there an action in which there is no motive no cause-the self does
not enter into it at all? Of course there is. There is when the self
is not which means no identifying process takes place.... Effortless
observation....choiceless observation.... There is the perceiving
of a beautiful lake with all the colour and the glory and the beauty
of it, that's enough. Not the cultivating of memory, which is developed
through the identification process. Right ?

You
want more and more and more and more, and "the more" means
that the past sensation has not been sufficient...A mind which is
seeking the 'more' is never conscious of 'what is' because it is always
living in the 'more'-in what it would like to be, never in 'what is'.
... meditation is actually seeing 'what is'... when no identification....
not identified by thought....There are only sensation.

So
we are asking is there a holistic awareness of all the senses, therefore
there is never asking for the 'more'. I wonder if you follow all this
?. Are we together in this even partially?. and where there is this
total-fully aware-of all the senses, awareness of it-not you are aware
of it.... the awareness of the senses in themselves-then there is
no centre - in which there is awareness of the wholeness. If you consider
it, you will see that to suppress the senses...is contradictory, conflicting,
sorrowful.... To understand the truth you must have complete sensitivity.
Do you understand Sirs? Reality demands your whole being; you must
come to it with your body, mind, and heart as a total human being....Insight
is complete total attention...
I wonder if you know what it means to be aware of something? Most
of us are not aware because we have become so accustomed to condemning,
judging, evaluating, identifying, choosing. Choice obviously prevents
awareness because choice is always made as a result of conflict. To
be aware....just to see it, to be aware of it all without any sense
of judgement....
Just be aware, that is all what you have to do, without condemning,
without forcing, without trying to change what you are aware of.....if
you are aware choicelessly, the whole field of consciousness beings
to unfold..... So you begin with the outer and more inwardly. Then
you will find, when you move inwardly that the inward and the outward
are not two different things, that the outward awareness is not different
from the inward awareness, and that they are both the same.

published works of K from 1933-1986.

Be
alert to all your thoughts and feelings, don't let one feeling or
thought slip by without being aware of it and absorbing all its content.
Absorbing is not the word, but seeing the whole content of the thought-feeling.
It is like entering a room and seeing the whole content of the room
at once, its atmosphere and its spaces. To see and be aware of one's
thoughts makes one intensively sensitive, pliable, and alert. Don't
condemn or judge, but be very alert. To see "what is," is
really quite arduous.

is the man who is nothing'' : Letters to a young friend (Nandini Mehta,
Bombay)

''the
need to observe thought, see it arise, see it disappear, to pursue
it till it ends.''

(this expressions was commonly used by K in his public talks in the
late 1940's and 1950's. Ref. KFT CDROM-1933-1986)

To
observe 'what is', the mind must be free of all comparison of the
ideal, of the opposite. Then you will see that what actually 'is',
is far more important than what 'should be'....

What
we call living is conflict and we see what that conflict is. When
we understand that conflict- 'what is' is the truth and it is the
observation of the truth that frees the mind. There is also much sorrow
in our life and we do not know how to end it. The ending of sorrow
is the beginning of wisdom. Without knowing what sorrow is and understanding
its nature and structure, we shall not know what love is, because
for us love is sorrow, pain, pleasure, jealousy. When a husband says
to his wife that he loves her and at the same time is ambitious, has
that love any meaning? Can an ambitious man love? Can a competitive
man love? And yet we talk about love, about tenderness, about ending
war, when we are competitive, ambitious, seeking our own personal
position, advancement and so on. All this brings sorrow. Can sorrow
end? It can only come to an end when you understand yourself, which
is actually 'what is'. Then you understand why you have sorrow, whether
that sorrow is self-pity, or the fear of being alone, or the emptiness
of your own life, or the sorrow that comes about when you depend on
another. And all this is part of our living. When we understand all
this we come to a much greater problem, which is death. Please bear
in mind that we are nor talking about reincarnation, about what happens
after death. We are not talking about that, or giving hope to those
people who are afraid of death.

So
meditation is a mind seeing actually 'what is'.......

Talks and dialogues, Saanen 1968 Pg. 93

...let
us keep in mind that we want to examine 'what is', to observe and
be aware of exactly 'what is' the actual, without giving it any
slant, without giving it an interpretation. It needs an extraordinarily
astute mind, an extraordinarily pliable heart, to be aware of and
to follow 'what is'; ...

-
First and last Freedom, p. 21.

...'what
is' is not static, it is a movement. And to keep with the movement
of 'what is' you need to have a very clear mind, you need to have
an unprejudiced (not a distorted) mind...

-The
Impossible question Pg 179.

So
we are asking is there a holistic awareness of all the senses, therefore
there is never asking for the 'more'. I wonder if you follow all this
?. Are we together in this even partially? And where there is this
total - fully aware - of all the senses, awareness of it - not you
are aware of it.... the awareness of the senses in themselves - then
there is no centre - in which there is awareness of the wholeness.
If you consider it, you will see that to suppress the senses... is
contradictory, conflicting, sorrowful.... To understand the truth
you must have complete sensitivity. Do you understand Sirs? Reality
demands your whole being; you must come to it with your body, mind,
and heart as a total human being..... Insight is complete total attention....
When this is a fact not an idea, then dualism and division between
observer and observed comes to an end. The observer is the observed
- they are not separate states. The observer and the observed are
a joint phenomenon and when you experience that directly then you
will find that the thing which you have dreaded as emptiness which
makes you seek escape into various forms of sensation including religion
- ceases and you are able to face it and be it.

Collection of K teachings from the KFT CDROM

Watch
what is happening inside you, do not think, but just watch, do not
move your eye-balls, just keep them very, very quiet, because there
is nothing to see now, you have seen all the things around you, now
you are seeing what is happening inside your mind, and to see what
is happening inside your mind, you have to be very quiet inside. And
when you do this, do you know what happens to you? You become very
sensitive, you become very alert to things outside and inside. Then
you find out that the outside is the inside, then you find out that
the observer is the observed.

-
Pg 36, K on education

As
long as there is the thinker and the thought, there must be duality.
As long as there is a seeker who is seeking, there must be duality.
As long as there is an experiencer and the thing to be experienced,
there must be duality. So duality exists when there is the observer
and the observed. That is, as long as there is a centre, the censor,
the observer, the thinker, the seeker, the experiencer as the centre,
there must be the opposite.

Liberation
is not an end. Liberation is from moment to moment in the understanding
of 'what is'-when the mind is free, not made free.

Krishnamurti's Talks 1949-1950 (Verbatim Report)
...India p.22

Are
not the thinker and his thought an inseparable phenomenon? Why do
we separate the thought from the thinker? Is it not one of the cunning
tricks of the mind so that the thinker can change his garb according
to circumstances, yet remain the same? Outwardly there is the appearance
of change but inwardly the thinker continues to be as he is. The craving
for continuity, for permanency, creates this division between the
thinker and his thoughts. When the thinker and his thought become
inseparable then only is duality transcended. Only then is there the
true religious experience. Only when the thinker ceases is there Reality.
This inseparable unity of the thinker and his thought is to be experienced
but not to be speculated upon. This experience is liberation; in it
there is inexpressible joy.

DHAMMA:

to moment''/''total-complete-holistic meditation'' in this study)

In
the seen there will be merely the seen; in the heard, merely the heard;
in the smelled, the tasted and touched, merely the smelled, tasted,
touched; in the cognized, there will be merely the cognized.

...his
awareness is established. Matta means ''mere.'' There is mere
understanding, mere awareness - mere observation. This is to the extent
(yavadeva) that there is no wise person, no-one to know or
experience. There is only knowing - only seeing. The observer is observed.
In this way he abides detached, without clinging or craving towards
anything in this world of mind-matter.
